EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Never do we approach nearer to our Maker than when we cause the sunlight of Heaven to beam upon the broken soul of our suffering brother. —Cardinal Gibbons. READING GOOD BOOKS It is characteristic of this age that we give undue thought to ways and means of entertaining and amusing ourselves, and by so doing we defeat our own purpose, for too much amusement breeds ennui. If we preserved a nice balance in the time allotted to work and play, self-improvement and rest, we should enter into our sports with more zest, and take more pleasure in our hours of recreation. Reading nothing but the lightest of fiction, to pass an idle hour, is a custom that is becoming all too common. Even the novel is not so popular as it once was. Story magazines are so numerous, and in rushing about from one thing to another, as we do, it is much more convenient and satisfactory to pick up a magazine and read a short story than to read a few chapters from a book and then lay it down until we have a few Idle moments again. There is nothing that will bring so much pleasure and profit as the reading of good books. Those who care only for fiction can quickly acquire a taste for the more substantial mental food. History, biography, travel, are all so absorbing and thrilling. History broadens one and gives one an insight into the forces that have formed our civilization; biography is inspirational; science is enthralling; travel is broadening; and the beat fiction may be educational. When we read good books we make double use of our time. We are entertaining as well as improving ourselves. U. S. WORLD AVIATORS IN EUROPE NOW U. S. WORLD AVIATORS IN EUROPE NOW The fact that the American army aviators in flight around the world are homeward bound and making fine progress, is stressed by their arrival in London. It soon will be in order to arrange plans for their welcoming when they get back to California. This state has a signal honor in this. It was from a Los Angeles County flying field that the epochal journey began, and it is here that it will end. This, when accomplished, will be one of the most remarkable feats in the history of mankind. It demonstrates the amazing possibilities of using the air for swift transportation of human beings and of commodities. It is a trailblazing victory for man's skill, endurance and intrepidity. Year by year, these victories will multiply, until eventually the air will be alive with swift flying craft, performing the functions of a world revolutionized by evolution of scientific progress. The human family soon indeed literally well be one family, bound together by swift communication and swift transportation. The hemisphere will be in each other's doorways. Nations and peoples will understand each other better. This should promote peace and concord. It should uplift the race and carry this old world far back on the return road to Eden. There should be no indignities against Japanese who are in this state lastfully. PARAGRAPH By ROBERT QUINN Opportunity knocks but would make a darned cal speaker.

After a day in the sordid maris it is comforting to pray or go see Jackie Coogan. A visitor from Mars might think the Murder Car one of our most popular makes. But how can any Frenchman be as calm and neutral as they expect their president to be? How comforting, after being shot, to know it was a dry agent and not a highwayman. Out in the great open spaces, you can at least get victuals that don't need mayonnaise dressing. The country is getting so prosperous that any little one-horse bank can interest a bandit.

Christian Science Monitor—It is high time that the method by which the noninating power is exercised should be rigidly regulated by statute to the end that nominations should be made intelligently; with due deliberation, and uninfluenced by the clamors of partisan mobs.

SHERMAN The newly elected president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs is Mary K. Sherman (Mrs. John Dickinson Sherman) of Chicago and Estes Park, Colo. She succeeds Mrs. Thomas G. Winter as head of this organization which numbers upwards of two million women members. The election took place at the federation's recent biennial convention held in Los Angeles. Mrs. Sherman is a past second vice-president of the federation and chairman of the department of applied education. She is also a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Her club activities began in Chicago 25 years ago. For many years Mrs. Sherman taught parliamentary law in Chicago and elsewhere and her book on the subject is the adopted authority of many organizations. She is also a specialist in compensation of natural resources and gardening. DINNER STORIES One of the New York churches is notorious for its exclusiveness. A colored man took a fancy to the church, and promptly told the minister that he wished to join. The clergyman sought to evade the issue by suggesting to the man that he reflected more carefully on the matter, and make it the subject of prayers for guidance. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying INTOXICANTS AT COLUMBIA—San Bernardino Sun Alumni committee of Columbia University, in charge of the commencement week reunion and other festivities, has issued an appeal that Columbia men refrain from bringing intoxicating liquors to the ceremonies. The committee asks for strict observance of the prohibition laws. This amounts to a confession of an astounding situation. The men who are warned are graduates in classes dating back for twenty-five years. These Columbia graduates must be men of high affairs. They are men of mature judgment, yet they must be publicly notified of an appeal for them to obey a law of the land. Presumably the appeal is a confession that quantities of liquor have flowed at previous alumni reunions at Columbia. Columbia wants its good name protected and its graduates of former years are told it is their duty to co-operate by not bringing liquor onto the university grounds. If Dr. Butler, who recently notified the Nation the Volstead Act could not be enforced, had put some energy into enforcement of law on the campus of his university, perhaps the alumni of that great college would not now be humiliated by the step this committee believes it necessary for it to take. ABATING HEADLIGHT GLARE EVIL—Sacramento Bee Announcement is made by Will H. Marsh, superintendent of the Motor Vehicle Department, that some 20,000 drivers of automobiles recently have been stopped on the highways of the State and ordered to have their headlights adjusted to comply with the provisions of the law. The figures look large. But their actual importance in diminishing the glaring headlight menace is anything but reassuring, in view of the estimate that 60 per cent of the 1,100,000 automobiles now being used in California are equipped with lights just as faulty. The various officials co-operating in this campaign are doing a worthy work so far as they have gone. But until it becomes a fact that lights which glare are the exception rather than the rule, a persistent and vigorous campaign against law-violators must be continued. For costly and painful experience has shown that such lights are one of the chief causes of accidents that otherwise would be avoided. DINNER STORIES One of the New York churches is notorious for its exclusiveness. A colored man took a fancy to the church, and promptly told the minister that he wished to join. The clergyman sought to evade the issue by suggesting to the man that he reflected more carefully on the matter, and make it the subject of prayers for guidance. The following day, the darky encountered the minister. "Ah done prayed, sah," he declared, beaming, "an' de Lawd he done sent me an answer las' night." "And what was it?" queried the clergyman, somewhat at a loss. "What did the Lord say?" "Well, sah." He done axed me what chuch Ah wanted to jine. An' Ah tole Him it was yourn. An' He says: 'No, ho dat chu'ch!' says he. 'You can't git in dere. Ah know you can't—cause Ah been tryin' to git in dat chu'ch for ten years mahself-an' Ah couldn't!' The farmer decided to give special attention to the development of his poultry yard, and he undertook the work carefully and systematically. His hired man, who had been with him for a number of years, was instructed, among other things, to write on each egg the date laid and the breed of the hen. After a month, the hired man resigned. "I can't understand," the farmer declared, surprised and pained. "why you should want to leave." "I'm through," the hired man asserted. "I've done the nastiest jobs, an' never disliked. But I draw the line on both secretaries to a bunch o' hens." FORMS THAT LIVE THE FUTURE What may we fake into the vast Forever?
